Why not give Iridescent shards for playing 2v8 on survivor side?

If survivors were given +-50 shards per game in this mode, I think it would increase the number of people playing as survivors and reduce the waiting time for games as killers. Expensive skins in the store cost 21,600 shards, which is equivalent to 432 games as survivors. I doubt that most people will be able to play enough to earn even one skin. So it won't hit the developers' pockets too hard. But on the other hand, it will allow newbies and inactive players to unlock all the characters and perks they need more quickly. I've played the game for 1,200 hours and still need shards to unlock characters and perks. Overall, I think that giving out shards for playing Survivors in 2v8 is a win-win for everyone.
